The UIViewControllerRestoration
protocol should be adopted by classes that act as "restoration classes" for view controllers during the state restoration process. The method in this protocol should be used to create the view controller, if it does not yet exist, or return an existing view controller object, if one does exist.
To use a class that adopts this protocol, you must assign that class to the restorationClass
property of one of your app's view controllers.

Your implementation of this method should create (or find) the corresponding view controller object and return it. If your restoration class determines that it does not make sense to display this view controller now, it may return
from this method to prevent that view controller (and its children) from being added to your interface during the restoration process.You use the strings in the
parameter to identify the view controller being requested. The view controllers in your app form a hierarchy. At the root of this hierarchy is the window's root view controller, which itself may present or embed other view controllers. Those presented or embedded view controllers may themselves present and embed other view controllers. The result is a hierarchy of view controller relationships, with each presented or embedded view controller becoming a child of the view controller that presented or embedded it. The strings in theidentifierComponents
array identify the path through this hierarchy from the root view controller to the desired view controller.It is not always necessary to create a new view controller object in your implementation of this method. You can also return an existing view controller object that was created by another means. For example, if the view controller had already been loaded from a storyboard file, you would return that object rather than create a new one.
Your implementation of this method may use any data in the provided
to assist in the restoration process. However, you do not need to restore the entire state of the view controller at this point. During a later pass, view controllers that define adecodeRestorableStateWithCoder:
method are given a chance to restore their state from the same coder object.Import Statement

The only hope Oregon has for being ranked above Florida in that scenario would be if Stanford loses this week and they beat Oregon st. That gives them an extra game against a ranked team in the pac 12 conference title game against UCLA. Of course they would have to win that game big. If they don't get that extra game they can't be ranked above Florida who will have quality wins over LSU, A&M, Fl St.
Really Duece Wayne? They beat LSU, Texas A&M, South Carolina(blow out) and Florida St. But that is not NC game quality? If there are no unbeaten teams nobody will have a better record than them. Get educated before posting next time.
Anybody who follows college football knows Florida beat LSU. It was the biggest game that week and the biggest win they have had since the Tebow era. It does not matter how they beat LSU they won the game. You might forget their first sec game against A&M when nobody knew what A&M would be but who follows college football that doesn't know they beat LSU? Nobody! Florida beating Fl St would give them more wins over top 15 teams than any team! Their only loss was to Georgia. No they have not blown out many teams but they have won all but one.
And they almost got beat by Missouri and Louisiana, and even Bowling Green gave them a run for their money. Why don't you use what bits and pieces of working brain cells you have before posting next time. Though yes, they beat LSU. Auburn almost beat LSU too. LSU was a bit overrated this year. Though if Florida beats Florida State then hats off to them. Though my comment had less to do with their record and more to do with the quality of their team. They just haven't been very consistent this season and I just don't view them as the #2 team in the nation. So I dunno, maybe college football is just having an awkward year this year.
They struggle on offense because their QB is inconsistent but outside of that Florida is a really good team. They have a better resume than anyone else if they win out.
The best thing that happened to Florida was losing against Georgia. Don't have to play against Alabama in the SEC Championship game and still get to play in the National Title game? No problem! The BCS: when a loss against your rival works in your favor.
I agree that they have one of the better resume's in terms of their record, I just find it baffling that a team that is that inconsistent has a good shot at being in the NC.
Almost getting beat doesn't count. They are 9-1 and have beaten the 7th, 9th and 12th ranked teams period! If they also beat the 10th ranked team they will have as many quality wins as anybody else. More quality wins than Notre Dame or Oregon. Florida has one of the 10 best defenses in the country. They also may have one of the ten best running games but because of their passing game they don't run up big scores on people. Do you judge a team more by their victories over lesser teams than by their ability to play with the best?

A great phone.
Display- A gorgeous 4.3" Super AMOLED Plus display- You've got to really see it to appreciate it. It is incredibly bright, vibrant and the colours are very vivid... 800*480 resolution is a bit less in the age of qHD displays, but the Super AMOLED Plus gorgeousness more than makes up for that...
Specs- 1.2 GHz dual core application processor, Incredible graphics, crazy thin device, Gorilla glass, Expandable micro SD memory, Feather light... What more could a person ask for in a phone? If you are not satisfied, there is the 1080p 30fps video and playback. The 8MP rear camera takes great pics and the quality comes close to a low-end point and shoot. Of course it doesn... Read more -

Takayasu's arteritis: a review of the literature. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 17111782 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Takayasu's arteritis is a rare, idiopathic, chronic inflammatory disease with cell-mediated inflammation, involving mainly the aorta and its major branches. It leads to stenosis, occlusion or aneurysmal degeneration of large arteries. The clinical presentation is characterised by an acute phase with constitutional symptoms, followed, months or years later, by a chronic phase in which symptoms relate to fibrosis or occlusion of vessels. Angiography is the gold standard for diagnosis and for topographical classification and it correlates with symptoms and prognosis. Here we focus on the pathophysiology, clinical and angiographical classification, diagnostic assessment and therapeutic approach of Takayasu's arteritis. |

Making Your Baby Shower Thank You Cards Special
Youve unwrapped that beautiful and soft new blanket, and you are now the proud owner of a frilly bassinet, so now it is time to sit down and begin writing your baby shower thank you cards. Your family and friends were so generous with each special item, and now its time for you to return the favor. You dont want to send them another one of those generic thank you cards like you have gotten in the mail, though. You want to make your thank you
girl baby
cards stand out from all the rest so they will remember it and hold onto it for years to come.
Find a Special Way to Say Thank You
As you are trying to decide come up with
thank you card
ideas that will make your cards unique, consider the following options.
Personalize it with a poem. It doesnt have to be one you have come up with yourself, although that would make the
baby shower thank you cards
even more personal and unique.
Start out your
thank you card
with a lullaby. Do you have a favorite lullaby? Does the person you are sending this card to? Begin your card with just a few lines of a lullaby to truly make it special.
Include a few pictures from the shower. If you sent out thank you baby invitations and had a baby shower, this might be the perfect time to allow your guest to reflect on the fun times. Choose a couple of pictures that include both yourself and the guest you are sending the thank you infant cards to. This will help make your baby thank you cards memorable. You could also use these to make cute unusual baby gifts as well.
Decided to wait until after the baby was born to send out your thank you baby cards? No problem. Make your cards special by inserting a picture of your newest addition. Everyone will love this first look at your little one.
Brush up on your foreign languages. For those of us who speak English, everything sounds better in another language. Begin or end your card with a hello or goodbye in another language. You may even choose to say thank you in that language.
Add a little color to your
thank you cards
. Even if you know you are having a boy or a girl, that doesnt mean you are stuck with pink and blue cards. Choose whatever colors you like the best.
Follow the tips provided above and you'll add that extra special touch to your thank you cards,
birth announcements
and baby stationery. By adding something truly unique and personal like your toddlers artwork to
baby shower thank you cards
can really makes a difference to someone on the receiving end.

Reclamaciones(7) 1. A combination carrying case for protectively carrying a portable computer and portable seat comprising A laminated semi-rigid to rigid front wall, a laminated semi-rigid to rigid back wall, and a laminated semi-rigid to rigid edge wall perpendicularly connecting the front and back wall wherein a closure means is provided integral with the edge wall for opening or closing a storage compartment formed between the front and back wall said compartment capable of protectively storing a computer within said semi-rigid to rigid walls, said front and back walls each having a cushion disposed thereon, and said back wall further forming a backrest having a separate spinal support cushion adjustably affixed thereto.
2. The combination carrying case and portable seat of claim 1, wherein the adjustable spinal support cushion contains a means for providing massage or vibration therapy to a user of the seat.
3. The combination carrying case and portable seat of claim 1, wherein the spinal support cushion is capable of being adjustably positioned in relation to the backrest to provide lumbar spinal support for a person using the portable seat.

6. The combination carrying case and portable seat of claim 1, wherein the carrying case includes a plurality of compartments.
7. The combination carrying case and portable seat of claim 1, wherein the adjustable spinal support cushion contains a means for modulating the temperature of said cushion.
Descripción This a continuation-in-part from U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/060/135, filed Sep. 26, 1997. This invention relates generally to portable seating devices and more particularly to a briefcase or backpack and folding cushioned seat combined as a single article of manufacture. The article can serve as a case for carrying various articles, including papers, books, clothing, or the like and as a seat with a backrest which has a specialized lumbar support. Various portable chairs having seats arranged for disposition directly upon a supporting surface such as the ground, beach, etc., have been disclosed in the literature. Examples of such prior art chairs are shown in U.S. Patent Nos. D 121,266, D1 71,506, D1 94,234, D219,377, and 2,915,154. While such chairs are generally suitable for their intended purpose they leave much to be desired from the standpoint of efficiency and adaptability for multi-purpose use and for providing lumbar support. U.S. Pat. No. 3,092,244 (O'Neil) discloses a portable seat which can also serve as a carrying case. To that end, the structure comprises a pair of side walls each having a convex outer surface and a concave inner surface. The side walls are connected together at a hinge and are pivotable from a first position to a second position. The structure includes a handle formed of a pair of frame-like members. One frame member is pivotally connected to one of the side walls and the other frame member is pivotably connected to the other side wall. One side wall forms a seat whereas the other side wall is oriented at an angle to the seat to form a backrest. In U.S. Pat. No. 3,422,938 (Worcester), there is also disclosed a portable seat which can serve as a carrying case. The structure of Worcester comprises a pair of walls having mating peripheral edges. One of the walls forms an inner concavity between its edges. The walls are connected together at a hinge to enable the walls to be swung to a closed position to enclose the concavity and thereby form a storage compartment or to be swung to an open position wherein one of the walls forms a seat and the other wall forms a backrest. A handle is provided to enable the carrying of the device when closed and to aid in the bracing of the wall when it is serving as the backrest. U.S. Pat. No. 4,079,992 describes a combination carrying case and folding seat which is arranged to be disposed directly on a supporting surface, such as the ground. First and second shell-shaped members are pivotably connected together at their rear by a hinge. The device also includes a third member removably mounted over the first member and closing the hollow interior of the first member for storage of items therein. The third member forms a seating surface of the device. Flanges are provided to form a vertical support for the unit when said unit is in its closed position, with one of the flanges serving as a brace for the second member when the device is in its open or seating position. U.S. Pat. No. 4,730,871 describes a backrest construction which may be incorporated into an upholstered chair or recliner, or which may be used in a portable backrest either alone or in combination with a seat. The construction includes a frame with a vertical track carried on it and which in turn carries a lumbar support that may be moved up and down on the track. The lumbar support not only may be moved vertically to adjust its height, but in addition, it may be moved toward and away from the plane of the frame so as to decrease or increase the support provided by it. U.S. Pat. No. 4,746,166 discloses a portable seat and carrying case, comprising first and second side wall members hinged to each other and rotatable between a closed, case-fashion position and an open, seat-fashion position. Each identical side wall member comprises a pair of outwardly directed, concentric circular bearing surfaces, one being formed outside a projection and the other inside a recess. The projecting bearing surface of one side matches the recessed bearing surface of the other side of each of the side wall members, and, when coupled to each other, form a hinged connection therebetween. A bottom member forms part of and rotatably supports the side wall members in their coupled position. U.S. Pat. No. 4,502,728 describes a portable seat and backrest that can be folded for convenient carrying which includes a seat and backrest having spring steel plates as frames and covered by foam pads. The curvature of the backrest is controlled by a slide assembly movable on tracks on the rear of the backrest. U.S. Pat. No. 5,421,637 describes a foldable stadium seat and storage apparatus which includes a seat portion assembly, a storage assembly, and a first hinge assembly connecting the seat portion assembly and the storage assembly together. The first hinge assembly is connected between the interior side of the seat portion assembly and the interior side of the storage assembly. A strap is employed that is capable of encompassing the seat portion assembly and the storage assembly for retaining the interior side of the seat portion assembly and the interior side of the storage assembly in juxtaposition when the foldable stadium seat and storage apparatus is in a folded orientation. The seat portion assembly includes a first end proximal to the first hinge assembly, and a handle is connected to the first end of the seat portion assembly. The storage assembly includes a hollow chamber portion defined by rigid walls of the storage assembly. The storage assembly includes a cylindrical well portion for retaining a beverage can. The storage assembly also includes a first expandable storage chamber and a second expandable storage chamber. A backrest portion may be connected to a distal end of the seat portion assembly by a second hinge assembly. Despite these articles being described or available, there has been no specific combination of a carrying case which can be used as a cushioned seat which further can provide the advantage of lumbar support. Accordingly, it is a general object of the instant invention to provide a carrying case which can also serve as a seat having an advantage of providing lumbar support. It is a further object of this invention to provide a device forming a comfortable seat and backrest with lumbar support which can be readily converted to a simple folding carrying case with substantial internal or external storage space. It is yet a further object of this invention to provide a small and lightweight combination folding seat and carrying device. It is yet a further object of this invention to provide a readily portable seat and carrying case having significant aesthetic appeal, e.g., having the appearance, when folded, of an expensive, high quality carrying case or backpack. These and other objects of the instant invention are achieved by providing a combination carrying case and folding seat for disposition directly upon a seating surface, e.g., an uncushioned chair or bench, having a seat portion and a backrest portion. The subject device comprises first and second side walls which are substantially planar and opposing one another when in a folded configuration. The side walls form the back and seat support portions of the device and are adjoined at an articulated joint or hinge. Cushioned members are disposed between the first and second side walls. The first side wall comprises a generally planar surface serving as a base for the cushioned seat member which forms a seating surface. The second side wall has an inner surface on which a cushioned member can also be disposed. The second side wall is pivotable relative to the first side wall about the articulated joint and forms a backrest for the cushioned seat. In a closed position, the side walls are folded at the joint so that the inner faces of the side walls are juxtaposed opposite each other. The side walls can have flanged edges so that the folded side walls can form a storage compartment therebetween. For fastening together the case, a fastening means, e.g., a zipper or a strap can be provided for maintaining the case in a closed position. In an open position the second side wall forming the backrest can extend at an angle of at least 90° relative to the seating surface to form a backrest for the seat. Disposed on the inner surface of the second side wall is a lumbar support means which, preferably, is adjustable in a substantially top to bottom direction relative to the backrest in its upright position. A cushioned liner can also be disposed on the inner face of the backrest for comfortable or therapeutic support for areas of the back other than the lumbar region, e.g., the thoracic or sacral regions. An adjustable sliding mechanism allows for direct contact of a lumbar support pad with the lumbar region of the spine, thereby helping to alleviate discomfort which can be caused by muscle tension, sciatica, radiculopathy, or the like. This is achieved by decompression of the vertebral disc while providing a secure stable support system for the lumbar region of the spine during prolonged sitting. This device is thus uniquely designed to promote correct spinal alignment during prolonged sitting; reduce discomfort associated with common back problems; provide a firm seat adaptable for most school desks, office chairs, and arena seats; and provide for a convenient way to carry various items normally carried in a carrying case. Other objects and advantages of the instant invention will be readily appreciated by the description provided herein when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 7C shows a perspective view of a variation of the backpack configuration, having three separate sections forming at least two openings or compartments FIG. 7D is a perspective view of the backpack configuration of FIG. 7C in an open position. The subject invention concerns a combination carrying case and cushioned seat which can provide excellent lumbar support. The carrying case/cushioned seat of the instant invention can perhaps be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawings, provided herein as FIGS. 1-7. One embodiment, shown in FIGS. 1-4, the subject combination carrying case and cushioned seat, shown generally as 10, comprises two opposing side walls 11 and 12, both of which have an outer and inner face. The inner face of side wall 12 forms a seat means when the article is in an open position. Preferably, the side walls comprise a laminated structure wherein separate layers of an outer and inner material form the outer and inner faces of the side walls. These outer and inner materials are typically flexible or pliable material, e.g., leather, vinyl, canvas, or the like. Accordingly, a third layer of a material more rigid than the side wall material can be disposed between the inner and outer layers to provide a permanent shape. For example, the third layer can be polystyrene or polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The material forming the third layer can be flexible or rigid so long as it substantially retains its general shape. In one embodiment of the invention, the third layer can be slightly curved, preferably convex relative to the outer face and concave relative to the inner face such that it is contoured to fit the curves of the body. In another embodiment, the third layer supporting the backrest is disposed on the inner layer of the second side wall forming a spinal support plate 45. In a preferred embodiment, a cushioning means 20 can be disposed on the inner face of the side wall 12 to form a seat cushion. More preferably, the cushioning means is permanently affixed to the inner face of side wall 12, and covers substantially the entire surface area of the inner face, leaving uncovered an area around the perimeter of the inner face to allow for providing an end wall 13 perpendicular to the side walls which can advantageously comprise a closure means 30 for closure of the carrying case. In a preferred embodiment, the cushioning means or seat cushion comprises a commonly used cushioning material, e.g., foam rubber, or other commercially available material, such as a polymer having cushioning properties. Typically, the cushioning material is a high density foam of high grade (2570) or medium grade (2550). For comfort and durability, the cushion material can be covered with fabric or other material typically used for covering cushion material for seat cushions. In addition, the cushioning means can be contoured to conform to the body of a person using the article as a seat cushion. The seat cushion can be stitched for a ribbed effect which can add to comfort and aesthetic appeal for this article. All portions of the subject invention which come into contact with the body during use as a seat can be sloped and contoured in direct correlation to the curvatures of the body, e.g., the vertebral column, specifically, the thoracic and lumbar regions. In one contoured embodiment, the thickness of the seat cushion varies from front to back (the back being the face proximate to the backrest) or from side to side. Preferably, the thickness of the seat cushion is greater on the sides relative to the thickness of the cushion in the central area of the seat. Further, it is preferred that the thickness of the cushion and is greater in the front relative to the thickness of the back of the seat cushion. A seat cushion contoured such that its thickness is greater in the front than the back provides an advantage of receiving a lumbar support, described in more detail below, when the article of the subject invention is in its closed position. A lumbar support cushion 40 can be disposed on the inner face of the side wall 11 forming the backrest of the subject invention. The overall design of the lumbar support is uniquely designed to provide therapeutic support during prolonged sitting periods. The lumbar support comprises a cushion which, in cross section, can be substantially semi-circular or ovoid. The cushion can be rectangular or generally ovoid in its parametric shape, but preferably is wider in its horizontal dimension than its height in the vertical position. The lumbar support cushion is preferably formed substantially entirely of cushioning material. In one embodiment, the lumbar support cushion is thicker toward its middle and is tapered toward its horizontal ends. The lumbar support pad is preferably of a thickness at its thickest point to be level with the outer edges of the concave face of the spinal support plate. This configuration for the lumbar support cushion is illustrated in FIGS. 5A and 5B. Further embodiments of the lumbar support pad include an insert disposed within the cushion material to modify the temperature of the lumbar support pad or to provide other additional therapeutic effects, e.g., massage, magnetic or vibration therapeutic modalities. Typically, such an insert is commercially available and can be accommodated into the lumbar support pad by an opening into the pad. Preferably, this opening is closeable by a standard closure means, e.g., zipper, Velcro, snaps, or the like. An embodiment having a zipper-closeable opening 46 for providing an insert 47 (shown in phantom) within the lumbar support pad is shown in FIG. 5B. For temperate regulation of the lumbar support, a standard gel-pack can be used. These gel-packs can be heated in a microwave oven or can be stored in a refrigerated area or freezer prior to usage, according to the desired effect. Vibrating means can be provided and are typically battery operated for convenience of providing mobility, i.e., are not restricted to electric power requiring plugging the vibrating means into a wall socket or other electric power source. Alternatively, the lumbar support pad can be disposed on a spinal support plate 45 which is disposed on the inner face of the backrest. The spinal support plate is generally a curved sheet having a concave face toward the back of the user and a convex face toward the inner face of the backrest. The spinal support plate is formed from a shape-retaining plastic or polymer material, e.g., polystyrene or polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Preferably, the spinal support plate is about one-sixteenth inch in thickness when made from polystyrene and is about one-eighth inch in thickness when made from PVC. Overlaying the spinal support plate can be a cushioning layer. The cushioning layers for the lumbar support pad and the spinal support plate can be any material having cushioning properties, e.g., foam rubber, a cushioning polymer, or other material typically or commonly used in seat cushions. For example, buckwheat husk-filled cushions are currently popular. The cushioning material is preferably of a thickness to provide a comfortable cushion to the user, but not of a thickness which precludes easy closure of the carrying case. The cushioning material used for the lumbar support pad or spinal support plate can be covered by a fabric or other like material typically used for covering seat cushions. The fabric or other material covering the cushion can enhance durability of the article and comfort for the user. Advantageously, the lumbar support pad of the subject invention can be placed at various positions from top to bottom along the inner face of the backrest. These various vertical positions for the lumbar support pad allow the pad to be adjusted according to the user's preference. The pad can be removably affixed to the backrest or spinal support plate by any attachment means 48 which allows for adjustment of the pad's position. For example, the pad can be affixed to the backrest by means of a hook and loop material, e.g., VELCRO. The backrest or spinal support plate can have distinct placements of the hook and loop material such that a plurality of positions can be provided for, but are predetermined fixed positions. Alternatively, the hook and loop material can be provided as a continuous strip on the inner face of the backrest or spinal support plate such that a plurality of positions for the pad can be achieved along a continuum. In other words, the pad can be placed at any position so long as it attaches along the strip of hook and loop material disposed on the backrest or support plate. In another embodiment, the lumbar support pad can be affixed to the backrest or support plate by means of an elastic retaining strap. The elastic retaining strap comprises an elastic material forming a strap, wherein the length of the strap is positioned along the vertical axis of the of the backrest. The strap is affixed to the backrest or support plate in a manner such that the two ends of the strap meet to form a loop which extends through the backrest or support plate to affix the strap thereto. Alternatively, the strap can be directly affixed to the backrest or support plate. The strap is looped through a notch or aperture provided in the back of the lumbar support pad to hold the pad such that it bears on the backrest or support plate without slipping out of position. To adjust the pad, the pad can be lifted or pulled away from the backrest and slidingly positioned along the strap as desired. Releasing the pad, the elastic strap holds the pad in that chosen position. A plurality of straps can be provided. Preferably, the subject invention comprises two straps, engaging the back of each end of the pad. Other means for affixing the strap to the backrest, support plate, or lumbar support pad would be readily recognized by persons of ordinary skill in the art. For example, a strap having apertures at distinct positions along the length of the strap, similar to holes in a belt, can be provided for adjusting the position of the lumbar support pad. The strap can be affixed to the backrest or support plate using snaps, buttons, rivets, or other like fastening means. It would be understood that the term "lumbar" support pad is used for convenience and is not limited to support of the lumbar region of the spinal column. Adjustment of the support pad to different heights or positions can support a region of the spinal column, e.g., thoracic spinal region, in addition to the lumbar region. For use as a carrying case, the subject invention comprises a closure means 30 which is provided on substantially at least three flanged edge walls formed perpendicular to the side walls. The side walls of the subject carrying case can be made from materials typically used for briefcases, e.g., leather, vinyl, canvas, or like fabrics. The fastening means 30 for securing the case in a closed position can preferably be a zipper. In a preferred embodiment, the zipper has two slidable closures which engage and close the teeth of the zipper when moved toward one another. Most preferable, the zipper closure means is provided in a configuration which is substantially curved along flanged edge wall 14 (see FIG. 2) so that advantageously the seat forms a raised area between the legs of the user and in the backrest is formed an area which is recessed for conforming to the back of the user. The fourth edge of the side walls comprises a connecting material or fabric providing a flexible juncture for opening the carrying case similar to a hinged joint. The subject invention does not require, but can include, hinges. It would also be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the flexible joint can be formed by a single sheet of material which is folded on itself to form both side walls. Papers, books, or other small articles can be placed between the seat cushion and backrest and can be easily carried when the carrying case is in a closed configuration. To increase the carrying capacity of the carrying case, an additional compartment, a flap or pocket 65 can be provided on the outer face of at least one of the side walls. A closure means, e.g., zipper or VELCRO, can be included to provide access to the additional compartment. In addition, a strapping means 35 can be provided inside the carrying case which straps across the seat cushion to hold an item, e.g., a laptop computer or similar item, when it is preferable to reduce shifting of the item while being carried. The subject invention can also include a handle 50 for convenient carrying in a closed configuration, or adjustment of position in the seat or bench when in an open configuration. A shoulder strap can also be provided for conveniently carrying the article of the subject invention. In yet another embodiment, the carrying case can be configured as a backpack having the seat, back, and spinal support components described above adapted for use in the backpack embodiment. The backpack configuration is shown in FIGS. 7-7D. FIG. 7A shows the backpack configuration in a closed position, illustrating the front wall 71, back wall 72, and closure means 73. In addition, the backpack configuration can include a shoulder strap 74 for facilitating carrying thereof. Further, the backpack embodiment of the subject invention can include a double-compartment, as shown in FIGS. 7C and 7D, similar to the double compartment configuration of the briefcase embodiment described herein above. It should be understood that the examples and embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and that various modifications or changes in light thereof will be suggested to persons skilled in the art and are to be included within the spirit and purview of this application.

Single Review: 'Up In The Air' by 30 Seconds To Mars
30 Seconds To Mars continues to explore and employ technological advances to diversify their sound and to keep them from becoming too predictable. A perfect example of this is the futuristic and innovative "Up In The Air" which is the lead single from their latest studio-release entitled "Love, Lust, Faith + Dreams" which is now available in the market.
As we break down the audible parts of the single, we will hear various electronic beats, synthesizers, layers of guitar work, vocal tweaking throughout and other complimentary instruments as well that round up the listeners' experience. But what is the underlying message of "Up In The Air"? It really differs on who listens to it and what conclusion he can make of it. For me, vocalist Jared Leto is letting his fans know that he is comfortable with where he is now artistically and he doesn't mind anymore all the negativity thrown at him. In a way, he is learning to let go of things that he can't control and can't correct. This is the meaning I got of the song after listening to it four times in a row.
When it comes to the music video which Jared Leto himself produced and directed, we see it full of images that represent deep emotions and various states of mind — all of which would get our brains working. The guy is almost like a "visionary" with regard to the conceptualization of "Up In The Air." There is so much happening as we watch the music video unfold frame by frame that it keeps our attention glued to see what will happen next.
Jared Leto deserves credit for keeping things from getting stale and boring each time his band releases a new single such as this one. They really have given music aficionados a different listening experience altogether with all the changes they have incorporated in their music as shown here.
30 Seconds To Mars continues to not only defy and break expectations. Indeed, they have kept moving forward with their own artistic growth that they see fit. Some may find their latest offerings a bit too quirky, to put it mildly. And a few others simply can't stand listening anymore to another song from them. But I honestly think they don't make music for their detractors because sometimes these detractors don't even know what the heck they are saying in the first place when it comes to critiquing the work of others. They just to love judge and point their fingers at everyone else except themselves.
To prove a point on how bands like 30 Seconds To Mars can get such a mixed reaction, I did a bit of an impromptu social experiment yesterday. I just mentioned the band's name to fellow music aficionados and waited to see what their immediate reactions would be. Two smirked and uttered their strong opinions that I can't even say here. One was excited to know that 30 Seconds To Mars were still active and releasing records. Two others more gave mixed reactions citing essentially their own versions of the pros and cons of the band. However, none of them could say that the band hasn't stop growing and making music for those who can appreciate what the band is all about. And that is about embracing change and not going against it.

The second week of filming for the Magical Mystery Tour television special began with a visit to the Raymond Revuebar strip club in London's Soho.
The Beatles and other passengers from the coach trip were filmed watching Jan Carson's topless strip, accompanied by the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band performing Death Cab For Cutie.
In the final edit, a 'Censored' sign was superimposed to obscure Carson's bare breasts. The Beatles knew that, had they failed to do so, the BBC and other broadcasting companies would have cut the entire scene.
Jan Carson was a stripper who worked for Paul Raymond during the 1960s at his famous Revuebar in London.

Got a minute?
Tessara Smith, PayScale
They say you only get one chance to make a good first impression, and some job seekers have really taken this adage to heart.
Jessica Miller-Merrell, blogging4jobs
One of the most important aspects of hiring employees who don't necessarily live near your company's headquarters is managing their relocation package and compensation. Offering a salary across the board without factoring a cost of living increase will making hiring the best talent unattainable and could prevent your company from growing. Companies who decide to keep this process internally have a lot to learn about cost of living increases and proper relocation assistance.
It's no secret that vacations are vital to the sanity of every full-time employee, but what happens when all of their allotted break time is being sucked up by sick days and family emergencies? Instead of planning their getaways to Disneyland or the Caribbean, employees are instead forfeiting dreams of relaxation in the name of taking their kid to the doctor's office. There is no denying that it is important for workers not to skimp on time spent in the office, but most agree that it is unfair to have to surrender what would be mental health days in order to complete mundane tasks. Studies show that workers are more productive when they take vacations, and many companies are beginning to come to the realization that a strict PTO policy may not be the way to go in terms of supporting a healthy work environment.
Tess C. Taylor, PHR, The HR Writer
Perhaps no other topic is as awkward as the one that's pressing on the minds of both people sitting at the interview table. What are we referring to here? We're talking about the big, bad salary conversation. Bringing up compensation in an interview is enough to make a lot of people nervous.
Crystal Spraggins, SPHR
With all the information that's "out there" on your potential new hire, it's tempting to do a little snooping. After all, a new hire is a risk. Taking steps to mitigate that risk just makes good sense, right?
Every employer wants top talent, right? Top talent gets stuff done and without a lot of fanfare. Top talent is creative, flexible, and reliant. Top talent consistently delights. Who wouldn't want that?
Now here's another question. Would you (or your representative) be able to identify top talent during a job interview?
A 2012 survey by Leadership IQ, a research and management consulting firm, found that nearly 46 percent of all new hires fail within the first 18 months of accepting the new job. Forty-six percent.
We live in a world plagued with technology. Everywhere you go people are staring down at their smartphones with such a fixed focus that you would think they were expecting a call telling them they had just won the lottery. Even in a professional office environment, it is borderline impossible avoid being bombarded with Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, Pinterest, etc. Lately, technology has gotten a bad rap for inhibiting the quality of personal interactions however; there is a major upside to our digitally oriented society that is being greatly underutilized. Recruiting.
They say you never get a second chance to make a first impression. If candidates blow a major interview and somehow manage to still get hired for a position then the company is either A) desperate or B) knows that they have a track record of proven success. If they are lucky enough to be able to kick down the door to great jobs based on experience alone, kudos to them. For the rest of the candidates out there, making a great first impression will determine their fate not only in regards to getting the job but also the attitude the employer will have towards them throughout their tenure at the company.
PayScale's 2014 Best Compensation Practices Report revealed that employers are still very much concerned about the skills gap.
According to the survey, which culled responses from 5,000 executives and HR professionals, nearly 50 percent of companies are having trouble filling positions with skilled labor.
While not everyone agrees that a skills gap exists (or at least exists to the degree publicized in some media outlets), most do agree that something in the job market is awry when employers are complaining about not being able to find qualified workers even as job seekers complain they are qualified yet still unable to find stable, full-time employment.
No matter how much of an employers' market it may be, at some point, most employers will opt to use the services of a recruiter.
A good recruiter can save time (and therefore money) and help you source applicants you wouldn't have found on your own. An excellent recruiter can even bring clarity where confusion existed by say, helping you think through the job that needs doing and who's best to do it.
With all that's been written about the importance of employee engagement, you'd think our workplaces would be brimming over with programs, policies, and procedures to entice employees to stay put forever and a day while doing their best work ever.
Forecasting your organization's hiring needs is one of the most difficult things to do. To really have a good idea of your hiring forecast, you'd have to have an incredible sense of your workforce's attitudes, expectations, workloads and even personal lives. In fact, it would require almost daily follow up to keep a constant read on the situation. This is just one of the reasons that it's difficult to anticipate which business areas will have positions to fill and when. However, there is a way to proactively gauge hiring needs without all but asking employees when they plan to quit. The answer lies within your workforce analytics.
Apparently, it's the survival of the youngest in Silicon Valley. According to a recent New Republic article, by writer Noam Scheiber, that details the desperate measures that professionals in their early 40s are doing to stay employable, these efforts that include getting regular Botox injections and hitting the gym for hours a day to stay youthful are on the rise. No longer are seasoned employees looked at as valuable to the success of the technology firms they work for. Instead, a growing disdain for anyone born before the 1980s has reared its ugly head.
Quick—what's the one topic many job seekers are advised to avoid during the interview process?
You guessed it. Money. When job seekers are focused on money during the interview stage, it shows a lack of real interest and commitment to the work—or so the thinking goes.
Evan Rodd, PayScale
According to PayScale's 2014 Compensation Best Practices Report, hiring and talent retention are hot topics this year for companies of all shapes and sizes. In an effort to balance compensation budgets and navigate the widening skills gap, hiring managers, recruiters and company leaders are starting to reevaluate the criteria many have traditionally relied on.
Crystal Spraggins
PayScale's 2014 Compensation Best Practices Report noted that 50% of companies are having a difficult time filling skilled positions.
The finding was not too surprising given all we've heard about the skills gap in the last few years. However, the difficulty in finding suitable employees can't be attributed solely to job seekers and their qualifications, or lack thereof. I've spoken with enough hiring managers to know that many are woefully under-skilled when it comes to interviewing—not that it's all their fault. The interviewing process is not immune to myths, and some of these can get in the way of a company recognizing talent, even when it's staring the company in the face.
It's a fact. Each year businesses face too late what happens when employee morale drops and the best begin to leave for greener pastures. This most often occurs when the leadership team forgets that there is a fine line between recruiting and retaining high performance candidates. It's a sad state of affairs that is completely preventable, with the right efforts and planning.
One of the hardest things to overcome when you're attempting to hire employees is doing so with no budget. For many small and non-profit organizations, it's a reality that there's no money to dedicate to recruiting. Whether it's because there just isn't enough to go around or because you're only responsible for hiring for a few positions and money is allocated to larger scale hiring, many of us are faced with doing the impossible: hiring employees on a $0 budget.
If you've ever hired someone, chances are you've been tempted to run a quick Google search, or comb social media for additional information. This can be a good way to evaluate talent, and provide insight into a potential hire's professional demeanor. While helpful, this new era of decreased privacy can be daunting for employees and employers alike – we want to present a professional image, and we want to hire people who present such an image. By the same token, we want to avoid that creepy feeling that comes from excessive snooping, worried that our search for misconduct could become a self-fulfilling prophecy. In an age where almost every aspect of our lives is willingly documented by social media (if not, the potential is there), how do we exercise our right to free speech and self-expression while still maintaining a sense of professionalism?
It's amazing.
The Department of Labor reports a current unemployment rate of 7.3% (and some say the percent is really closer to double digits, once you factor in people who've simply stopped looking for work), but still employers can be heard all day long talking about how they can't fill jobs.

Why is Criminology So Popular?
Criminology, as the spelling implies, is the study of criminals. Not just the study of the actual criminals themselves, but the way that they actually committed their crimes. It studies their thought processes, what was going through their minds before, during, and after the crimes, and if they were criminals that committed multiple crimes – like a serial killer, or someone similar – then it also studies why they thought that they needed to continue to commit those crimes.
The study of criminology has always been a popular subject, but it has become more and more popular in recent years because of the new influx of television shows that show the government and different police departments around the United States solving crimes and doing forensic work to help solve crimes even faster. The main television shows that are the most popular right now include all of the CSI, or Crime Scene Investigation, series. There is a regular CSI, there is a CSI: Miami, and a CSI: New York as well. All three of those are incredibly popular and can be found playing on the television every single day of the week for hours on end. Another series that is a bit newer, but also just as popular is called Criminal Minds. This television show takes the use of criminology to the next level by using it to study the behaviors and thought processes of the criminals that they are searching for with every single case that comes across their desks.
Many people these days have discovered that they are able to do some of the same things that they seen on these television shows by earning degrees and certificates within the field of criminology. Fortunately, for busy people out there in the world, there is a way to get a degree in criminology without quitting their jobs or leaving their places of work.
Now there are programs online that allow people to get their degrees in criminology from online schools. They can work around their busy schedules while studying for their online courses and exams. It won't take very long to get a degree in criminology, and it's even better that these people can keep working and earning a living at the same time that they are personally bettering themselves. These online criminology degrees are a very good idea, and are another example of how our modern world is making life easier to grab a hold of.

Well, obviously you'll need a compressor, drier, condenser, and refrigerant lines. Have you gone to their site? They have complete instructions in PDF format...
Russ |
You will have a good many add ons, but even before you think of those, make good and sure that whatever evaporator you choose fits under the dash - that is a small car with limited space there, especially if it's already a driver. You also have to take into account the gauges and how they are wired for that limited space along with the 2-1/2 inch air distribution hoses as well as make sure the freon and water hoses fit. These hoses don't make tight turns. I did it on a '31 Ford, but it was a brand new build, pretty expensive and a fairly difficult part of the car project.

mockup evaporator
this is my first reply don't usually jump right in but this question relates to what I do for a living
I am a Vintage Air dealer and install A/C in muscle cars and hot rods for a living, also repair and update existing a/c in cars,not trying to sell anything just offer some advise I would recommend finding a Vintage Air dealer in your area that has mock up units in stock to loan, there are four sizes one gen IV and three Gen III, Gen IV would be to big for you, I would think a Mini would do the trick Secondly buy the book Vintage Air sells written by Jack (the owner) and read it a couple of times to get an idea of how a/c works,there is way more you need to know but this where to start |
I mostly agree - though have to say that you can make up your own mock up using the information found in the catalog rather then find a dealer. The Jack Chisenhall DIY book is a little dated, but there is good information. I'll agree that the GEN II Mini is a good choice for a small cab vehicle - and my earlier cautions about space still apply. This was taken during the wiring and a/c installation:
Irelands child |
I agree but
The gentleman who created the post really needs to get down to basics and Jack's book does that and no need to reinvent the wheel if you can get hold of a mockup case might be able to put a larger evaporator in than you thought which is always good

Toddler screaming, hitting and not taking regular naps
I am having a hard time knowing what to do with a 18 month old I am watching. I have watched him since he is a newborn. I love him to pieces, but when I come home the last few months, I am exhausted from his fighting me. It is worse when he does not nap. He seems frustrated and will hit me and is having major temper tantrums several times a day. I am devoted to him and all I do is take care of him, unless he is sleeping then I read or watch TV. His parents are lovely and he has everything he needs or wants.
